When you need a programme or transformation director who has genuinely done it before at scale, we step in as interim or fractional leadership and take the weight, without the cost or delay of a permanent hire.
Book a confidential conversationA director leaves, a programme outgrows its leadership, a board loses confidence, or a critical phase needs someone who has genuinely done it before.
These are the moments when a permanent hire is too slow and doing nothing is too costly. Interim leadership fills the gap with someone who takes a grip from day one.
End to end accountability for a major programme, from mobilisation or recovery through to delivery and handover.
A grip on a single critical project, its plan, scope, budget and suppliers.
Senior oversight a few days a month for boards and teams that need the experience but not a full time seat.
Project Director on the NESO separation and the £9bn Energy Bills Support Scheme, Global Transformation Director on the BP Pulse rollout.
Vendor independent and outcome focused, so the advice you get serves your programme, not a software vendor.
A fractional CTO or fractional CIO gives a growing business senior technology leadership for two or three days a week: the roadmap, the vendor decisions, the security posture and the hiring plan, without a full time salary. A fractional COO does the same for operations when the founder has outgrown running everything personally. An interim CIO or interim IT director covers a gap, leads a specific change or steadies a function after a departure, usually full time for six to twelve months. An interim transformation or programme director takes accountability for a named programme from mobilisation to benefits.
Every role is filled by someone who has held it before, on a day rate or a fixed monthly retainer, with no agency margin in between.
A fractional CTO is a senior technology leader who works for an organisation part time, for example two days a week, providing strategy, architecture and delivery leadership without the cost of a full time executive.
Define the outcomes you need over the next six to twelve months, agree the time commitment and decision rights, and choose someone who has done the job at your scale and stage.
Interim is a full weight, hands on leadership role for a defined period. Fractional is senior oversight a few days a month. We do both.
Days, not months. That is the point of interim leadership.
We agree the day rate and the number of days up front, set to the role. Far less than the cost and delay of the wrong permanent hire.
From single critical projects up to programmes worth billions. We have led at both ends.
No. We lead and steady what you have, and leave capability behind rather than a dependency.
Tell us the gap you need to fill and we will tell you honestly how we would step in and what it would take. No obligation.
